The Rock This Country Tour was the third and final concert tour by Canadian recording artist Shania Twain. The tour is Twain's first tour in eleven years and is billed as her farewell tour. The tour kicked off on June 5, 2015, in Seattle, and concluded in Kelowna on October 27, 2015. The trek preceded the release of Twain's fifth studio album. At the end of 2015, the tour placed 19th on Pollstar's "2015 Year-End Top 100 Worldwide Tours" list, grossing $69 million from 69 shows with a total attendance of 703,148.
On March 4, 2015, while appearing on Good Morning America, Twain announced the tour as well as her upcoming album. Since this is her last tour, Twain said that she wants to go out on bang and she's "ready to hang my hat up in that regard", which is touring. Twain also shared that this going to "be a real, kickin' hard-hitting, fun party show". Due to popular demand, nineteen additional dates were added in May 2015, forming the second North American leg.
In July 2015, Twain's agent said it was very likely an international leg of the tour would take place in the spring and summer of 2016.
On August 24, 2015, Shania Twain announced in an interview that she is not ready to give up touring and that "She's decided that a 2-year return residency to Las Vegas is back in her plans."
After a video introduction, Twain emerges onstage atop a rising platform in thigh-high leather boots, a red, sequined mini-dress and a black leather jacket singing "Rock This Country!" From there, Twain continues the opening portion of the show with "Honey, I'm Home" and "You Win My Love", number one country radio hits from 1998 and 1996, respectively, before launching into a punchy take on her first radio hit, "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?" After a chat with the audience, Twain keeps the show in full country mode with the line dance worthy "I Ain't No Quitter", and fiddle-heavy tunes "Love Gets Me Every Time", her five-week number one single from 1997, and fan favorite "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)".
